YESHUA knows firsthand the difficulties of this life and the heaviness of our burdens. When He left His heavenly home and came to this earth, He experienced it all. Our Savior offers to help us with every difficulty we face.
In today’s passage, we are invited to come to Him and take His yoke upon us and learn from Him. What YESHUA is describing is a lifelong process that entails getting to know Him—His perfect character, His priorities for life, and His plans for us to place ourselves under the yoke of His lordship.
He promises here that a life of submission to His will fits us well and will provide us with relief from our burdens!
Matthew 11:28-29
Then YESHUA said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls.”
Come to YESHUA. You weren’t meant to carry your burdens alone; just ask and believe, and He will lift the weight!
